It’s become way too convenient to order and watch movies from the comfort of my couch, but there’s still nothing that beats going to the theater, ordering popcorn, and settling in for the perfect cinematic adventure.

With the newest addition to Movie Showtimes, you can now edit which theaters to view within the one module — no more leaving your My Yahoo! page to edit your settings. So it’s even easier to check the showtimes of multiple theaters.

Once you’ve added the module, simply click the “Edit Module Preferences” icon (wheel icon highlighted below) and add your favorite theaters.

Add Movie Showtimes to your page now.

As a recent college grad, I have many friends still looking for their dream job. Some of them almost gave up their search, until I convinced them that there’s an easier way to find opportunities that fit their selective criteria.

The new HotJobs module for My Yahoo! was the perfect guide on their job-quest, and it can be yours too. It acts as your personal recruiter; not only does it recommend jobs based on your interests, but it also allows you to search for job listings right from the module! You can even post updated resumes.

With this module, my friends are taking a big step toward finding that dream job. You can do it too with HotJobs on your My Yahoo! page.

Add it to your page today!

Most of you know me by now, I’m Adam and I work on the My Yahoo! Blog.

I spend lots of time going from the blog itself, to WordPress (our blog platform), then to read your comments, and onto MyBlogLog (our data analysis tool).

When I first started on the blog, it was annoying to have to go back and forth from my “History” tab in my browser to get where I needed to go. Then I found Bookmarks!

This is a huge time-saver for me. Most of the links that I frequently use in my Bookmarks do not exist as standalone My Yahoo! modules or RSS feeds, so it’s an awesome way to bundle all of my “go-to” links in one place.

Try out Bookmarks for yourself!

Hi everyone,

Fresh off the designer’s computer screen comes the new Easter theme for My Yahoo!.

No hunting needed! You can try on this new theme here:
“Personalize this Page” > “Change Color” > “Seasonal.”
